HEY YALL. So, today we are back with a full in depth review of the very popular COLLEEN HOOVER'S new book called Woman Down. 

The story follows Petra Rose, a bestselling author whose career has stalled after a viral backlash. Facing financial ruin and intense writer's block, she retreats to a remote lakeside cabin to finish her next manuscript. Her isolation is interrupted by Detective Nathaniel Saint, a handsome and mysterious investigator who arrives with disturbing news. As their relationship intensifies through "research sessions," Petra loses herself in a world where she can no longer distinguish between her fantasy and a dangerous reality. 

THIS BOOK WAS ONE OF COLLEN'S WORST BOOKS IN OUR OPINION, and we get into all the reasons why! If you read, please let us know your thoughts. We are so excited to chat with you all!

Thanks for listening, and we’ll see y’all next week on The Open Books Podcast! 💕📚✨

HEY YALL. We are back with a serious hot off the shelf episode for yall! So many crazy things happening in the world right now. First off:

WHERE TF IS NANCY GUTHRIE?! 👀
Shia LaBeouf arrested in New Orleans. Is he becoming a local?
The Epstein Files resurfacing.
Theories on Hollywood elites.

In this week’s Hot Off the Shelf, we are spiraling (respectfully) over the internet’s latest obsessions. We break down the mystery of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance from the spotlight, what actually happened with Shia LaBeouf’s arrest in New Orleans, and why the Epstein Files are back in headlines again.

We’re unpacking the timelines, the rumors, what the media is saying, and what feels… off.

HEY YALL! Amber and Colby are back: It’s a FULL reality TV recap and we have many thoughts. We’re breaking down the Tell Me Lies finale and unpacking that ending: what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re still not over. Then we get into The Traitors and Rob’s undeniable charm (and control?) over the entire house. Is it strategy… or just good looks? We’re also diving into Love Is Blind Ohio, the extreme girl drama of Love Island All Stars, our thoughts on The Beauty on Hulu and that insane procedure, and the jaw-dropping moments from the America’s Next Top Model documentary. Grab a snack or a drink and let’s debrief.

HEY YALL! Amber and Colby are back with our January book club episode! 

The Arrangement by Kiersten Modglin is a psychological thriller about a married couple, Ainsley and Peter Greenburg, who try to save their crumbling marriage with an open-marriage "arrangement" where they each date other people once a week, but the plan spirals into dark consequences, deception, and suspicion as rules are broken and secrets are revealed. It's the first book in a trilogy, followed by The Amendment and The Atonement, and is known for its twists and fast-paced, easy-to-read style. 

We get into all of the messy and deadly drama this book provides, and chat about our real thoughts on "open marriages"!

In this episode, we’re diving into the book Phantom Limb by Lucinda Berry, and buckle up…because this one hurt in the best way. By the way, LUCINDA BERRY herself chose this book for us to read! 

Phantom Limb is a psychological thriller that explores grief, trauma, and the terrifying lengths the mind will go to survive unbearable loss. When Elizabeths twin sister dies, her entire life blows up. But is perception really reality in this plot?

We also get into Lucinda Berry’s signature style, the emotional manipulation (intentional and not), moments that shocked us, moments that broke our hearts, and whether this book crossed the line or walked it perfectly. As always, we share our honest reactions, theories, and final thoughts...and yes, there are moments where we had to pause and just sit with it.

If you love dark psychological thrillers that stay with you long after the last page, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now and let us know, did Phantom Limb mess you up too?
